Words ... warped meanings under superficial starlight ...

Anyone can dare to dream
But to feel, breathe in each

The moments keep fluttering onward
Far beyond the beholders eyes, still blindly missing

Is this truth, do tell
Representative of pure motive
Or just another false state of ...


Graceful elegance
A sharp, yet brittle knife
That crumbles under the illusion
Of each word you’ve spoken
Which permeates the souls around


God, does anyone seem to care?
That the love lost, the vileness
That the days gone by, have tainted the words
No matter how pristinely polished
They’re perceived to be

    Ahh, the eternal and beautiful struggle to understanding. It's a ruff path and not one that most will take but the rewards are both great and painful. Great Write.
